IBooks (or books?) keeps closing as soon as I open it. Been having trouble since update before last one. Currently I am on 15.4.1. Is anyone else having this problem

iBooks: toolbar not disappearing after updating to iPadOS 15 Hi, After updating to iPad Os 15 found out that the UI in Apple Books does not disappears like it used to. Before the update, I could tap in the center of the page layout and the toolbar (the user interface containing progress bar, bookmark icon, font options…) would immediately hide. Already tried reinstalling Apple Books and updating to Os 15.0.1, but problem persists. Anyone experiencing the same issue? Pretty annoying this toolbar while reading.

Books won't open on M2 MacBook Air On my Mac Mini and iPad Air I can open and read all my books without issue. On my MacBook Air M2, only a few of my books will open. They all used to open, prior to Ventura. My Mac Mini, iPad Air and MacBook Air are all associated with my AppleID and all have been authorised. One weird thing I noticed is that in Books | Settings | General if I tick download new purchases automatically it only stays ticked for a few seconds. I have tried signing in and out of my account. I tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my MacBook Air. Not even an Apple book like "MacBook Air Essentials" will open on my MacBook Air.

Apple Books freezes up repeatedly I have purchased Mac OS Catalina by David Pogue from the Apple Bookstore. I've been reading along, highlighting here and there, and suddenly, last night, it wouldn't let me do anything: highlighting, turning the page, etc. Tonight I picked it up to try again and it let me turn the page once before freezing up again. I have tried quitting and relaunching the app, rebooting the iPad, making sure I am updated to the latest version -- 13.5.1 (17F80), etc. Advice appreciated.

I am also having this problem. My book closes and when I finally get it open again it’s in the wrong page and flips to different pages. I have also lost all my books but they eventually come back and none of them are downloaded or say finished. Are these updates forcing us to buy newer iPads etc. I have the newest iPad Air but also a mini 4 which has these issues. So annoying 👎
